Stone fabrication shops and monument makers rely on segmented-rim wet blades to break down marble slabs and blocks quickly without chipping the finished edge. The MK Diamond MK-62M 12" x 0.095" x 1" is built for that job: a bond matrix calibrated to marble's relative softness keeps the diamond segments cutting instead of glazing over, so bridge saws and stationary wet saws stay productive through long production runs on marble, travertine, and limestone.
Built For
- Slabbing and cross-cutting marble on bridge saws and large stationary wet saws in fabrication shops.
- Sizing marble tile, pavers, and blocks to spec before edge profiling or polishing.
- Monument and memorial work that requires clean, chip-free cuts through marble stock.
- Cutting marble countertop, hearth, and threshold stock to rough dimension ahead of finishing.
- High-volume shop production where segment life and consistent cut quality directly affect job cost.
Beyond the spec sheet, three things matter most to the shops that run this blade daily: edge quality, segment life, and consistent performance under continuous water flow. The 8mm segment height gives the blade more diamond to wear through before it needs replacing, which lowers cost per cut on high-volume slab and tile work. A bond matched to marble's hardness helps the segments stay sharp instead of glazing over, so the cut stays fast and clean instead of dragging and generating extra heat. And because it's a true wet-cutting blade, it also helps control the silica dust that dry-cutting stone generates — always run it with adequate water flow directed at the cutting zone.

Frequently asked questions
What machines does the MK-62M 12" fit?
It's built with a 1" arbor, the standard size on most 12" bridge saws, slab saws, and stationary stone saws. Stock arbors can be bushed down for equipment that takes a smaller arbor — check your saw's specification before ordering a bushing.
Is this a wet-cutting or dry-cutting blade?
The MK-62M is a wet-cutting blade only. It should always run with water directed at the cutting zone; a wet-cutting blade should never be run dry, since that can damage the blade and generate excess silica dust.
Will this blade cut granite or engineered quartz as well as marble?
No. The MK-62M's bond is calibrated for marble, limestone, and other comparably soft stone. Harder materials like granite and engineered quartz call for a harder-bond blade; running this one on those materials will wear the segments down quickly.
What RPM should I run this blade at?
Operate within the manufacturer's recommended surface speed of roughly 9,000 to 13,000 surface feet per minute, which works out to approximately 2,900 to 4,100 RPM at this 12" diameter. Always confirm against your saw manufacturer's rated arbor speed before use.
How long will the segments last?
Segment life depends on how much marble you're processing, water flow, and feed rate, but the 8mm segment height on this blade is built to give fabrication shops extended life across high-volume slab and tile cutting compared to shorter-segment blades.
